We'll set up a Roman camp with bread ovens plus a forge and workshops for the manufacture of essential kit to include: metal, wood and leather craft... such as [loricae] segmentatae, pila, furcae (carrying-poles), loculi (satchels), tegimentes[/i] (scutum [shield] covers) and so on.

We're also working on a way to glue up scuta using methods that might have been used to create a Roman gluing jig.. more than one at a time!

This will be an excellent opportunity for Members to spend as much as a week working on kit!

Other activities wil include morning assembly, weapons drill and a daily march as well as at least one campaign march in full kit!

We'll camp on site as historically as possible!

Why the Estrella War?

several of us already attend

it will help promote our Arizona and Texas chapters

it's central to most of the Legio IX membership

You'll get a chance to see the debut of our new SCA combat kit, the most historically accurate Roman presence on the SCA battlefield. Yes... combatants will be wearing their reenactor segmentatae![Ed. note: the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism)'s usual battle-armor is designed for safety rather than accuracy; Legio IX is going in the real thing!]
